Top Reasons to Choose Kona Organic for Demeter Biodynamic Certification
Updated: Oct 7
Demeter Biodynamic certification asks more of a farm than organic does. Not many consultants work with the Demeter standard. Kona Organic does, and it works with farms in all 50 states and around the world.
Demeter approved
The Kona Organic team is Demeter approved and knows the standard in detail.
Organic first, then biodynamic
Demeter builds on organic certification. Kona Organic handles both, so the organic plan and the biodynamic plan fit together instead of being written twice.
Ready for review
Kona Organic prepares farms the way a certifier will review them.
The whole farm plan
Demeter looks at the farm as one living system. That means a biodiversity set aside of at least 10 percent of the farm, limits on outside fertility, and use of the biodynamic preparations. Kona Organic helps map all of it into a plan the farm can actually follow.
Records that hold up
Kona Organic sets up simple logs for preparations, compost, inputs, and harvests, so the paperwork is ready before the inspection is booked.
Tropical and specialty crops
Coffee, cacao, fruit, and other tropical crops are Kona Organic's home ground. Growers of these crops anywhere have few biodynamic specialists to call.
Remote, anywhere
Plans, records, and inspection prep all happen online. Where the farm sits does not matter.
Common questions
Do I have to meet the organic rules to get Demeter Biodynamic certified?

What is the Demeter 10 percent biodiversity rule?
Demeter asks a farm to set aside at least 10 percent of its land for biodiversity, such as hedgerows, forest, or wetland.
